Goodbye

I'm getting closer, just a one more step now.
I can feel the closure, but it's a matter of how.
Who, what, where, and why.
I want to close my eyes and die.
Gonna close my eyes and sleep tonight,
Put on a smile and ask if you're all right.
Gonna close my mouth up tight,
And pretend I slept at all last night.
That I wasn't up crying,
Rather than dying.
Because I don't want to add my death to your list of problems,
And if I was gone, who would get you through them?
No, not I.
No, not I.
For I've said,
